Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny has been sentenced to prison for more than 2.5 years for violating the terms of his probation while recuperating in Germany from nerve-agent poisoning. The verdict triggered protests in Moscow and St Petersburg. Navalny denounced the verdict as Kremlin’s ’vain’ attempt to scare millions of Russians. Navalny was arrested immediately after landing in Russia from Berlin.
Damn
Proper headline should read, "Russian dissident sentenced to 2 1/2 years for surviving assassination attempt."
